I was upgrading my server today and after a reboot, cyrus wouldn't start. So I checked the logs:

Between the upgraded packages I can remember openssl and affected packages depending on it. This included removing lib{ssl,crypto}*0.9.7. If you need emerge.log, I can post it.
I really have no idea how to recover from this or if it is possible at all so I'll be wide-open to any suggestions you may have 
Many thanks in advance,
Norberto |

First, BACKUP YOUR CURRENT /var/imap.
Then
1. Figure out what is your current version of BerkeleyDB installed: for example with emerge -pv db
2. Stop Cyrus.
3. cd /var/imap/db
4. dbX.Y_recover (where X is the major and Y the minor version of BerkeleyDB version: for example for BDB 4.1 you would run db4.1_recover)
5. Pray for help.
6. Start Cyrus.
7. See if it works.

Thanks Janne. I've tried that before but it didn't fix anything. Finally, I did: | Code: | rm /var/imap/*.db
rm /var/imap/db*/*
|
... and everything is working  |

Hi,
I had the same problem.
db4.3_recover didn't work, but after deleting the db files and restarting cyrus, the db4 error in the logfile disappeared. (Thank you, nbensa.)
However, my mail client cannot login to the user's IMAP mailbox any more. (Authentication failed.)
I don't remember the password, because it was stored in my mail client, but it should work however.
1. What could be the reason why the authentication fails?
2. How can I change a user's Cyrus-IMAP-password? |

Thanks.
saslpasswd2 showed no users. Perhaps the information is lost while deleting the db files?
So I created a new password for the user jan using saslpasswd2 jan.
Now my mail client (Thunderbird) says: | Code: | | The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded: Mailbox does not exist. |
The last 2 lines of /var/log/everything/current say:
| Code: | May 9 01:14:35 [imap] auxpropfunc error invalid parameter supplied_
May 9 01:14:50 [imap] login: localhost [127.0.0.1] jan plaintext User logged in |
ls -la /var/spool/imap/j/jan/ says:
| Code: | total 12
drwx------ 2 cyrus mail 144 Sep 3 2005 .
drwxr-x--- 4 cyrus mail 144 May 7 19:15 ..
-rw------- 1 cyrus mail 4 Sep 3 2005 cyrus.cache
-rw------- 1 cyrus mail 146 Sep 3 2005 cyrus.header
-rw------- 1 cyrus mail 76 Sep 3 2005 cyrus.index |
This directory had been full of mail files before. (Fortunately I saved them to another directory.)
Any ideas? |

Sorry. On a second read, your cyrus is working, just no emails there. Can you restore your /var/spool/imap/j/jan directory?
BTW, mine is /var/spool/imap/n/user/nbensa ... Is yours a typo? |

Oh, my fault. In /var/spool/imap/j/user/jan/ my mails are still stored.
Is it not normal that the dir /var/spool/imap/j/jan/ exists? Perhaps I created it accidentally while playing with cyradm...
No, my user is not in the mail group. Is that necessary? |

OK, I solved my problem the following way:
1. I installed dovecot
2. I wrote a script to convert the cyrus maildir into a dovecot maildir
3. I said bye bye to cyrus
The second step was necessary, because neither cyrus2courier nor cyrus2maildir.py worked for me.
If anyone is interested in the script, just let me know.
Anyway, thanks for your help, nbensa. |

Same problem here, doing the above also solved the problem

Hi!
I had exactly the same problem. I also deleted the dp files in /var/imap. But now I have also the problem that my mail client tells me the mailbox doesn't exist. When I use cyradm I still see my mailbox with its quota etc. So how do I tell the database that the mailbox still exists?
